There seems to be a tcp connection stuck in the CLOSING state here, which seems odd. It doesn't seem to be causing any problems, but I imagine if they start accumulating it could cause a problem. So, my questions are, 1. What could have caused a connection to get stuck like that? 2. How should I get rid of it? (if possible, without rebooting.) Also, connections do seem to stick in this state fairly often, but timeout after a while (this problematic one has been there for hours). Is there any way to change the timeout on the CLOSING state? It's probably somewhere in the source, but I don't know much about C, less about kernel internals, and couldn't spot anything obvious looking under /sys/netinet.
